Tales of Alidaire: The Struggle

[Masquerade]

Harmon looked to the side in dismay. [color=red]"A thousand pardons, kind warriors, but His Lord Magistrate will have my head if I do not carry out his orders...,"[/color] he explained, whipping out a magnifying glass, holding the lens up to the sun to watch it gleam. [color=red]"Just fight with your all,"[/color] he added ominously. It seemed as if he had more to say, but he apparently decided to stay his tongue. He nodded to his paladin partners and prepared for battle.

[color=blue]Player Phase 1![/color]

[color=purple]Alexandra uses Graceful Curtsy! [User ATK and INT +25%]

MP: 7/15

Alexandra shook her head before performing an elegant curtsy to the gentlemen before her. A strange aura surrounded her as she looked up. [b]"Detective Harmon. I do hope you know that I am not one to be reckoned with, and neither are my friends,"[/b] she spoke aloud with such a fierce voice. With it, her saber seemed all the more frightening in the morning sun.

Alexandra waits.[/color]

[crazE]

[i]Mai cleared the small space between her and the knight ahead within a second, her hidden powers surfacing as she delivered an energy-encased slash across the knight's chest.[/i]

Mai moves to E9.

Mai uses Hidden Power! +3 Atk for five turns!

16/20 MP

Mai uses Basic Attack on Kenneth! 10 Atk Damage!

[Eebit]

With ease, Helena nocked an arrow to her bow, channeling her Mana into the arrowhead in order to imbue it with a poisonous aura, and let it fly directly over the shoulder of Alexandra and into the body of the Detective that planned to place the group under arrest. She spat on the ground in disgust, thinking to herself, [color=#407790][size=x-small][i]This is going to end badly. If we are already in trouble with the law for killing the scourge of the city, then what will happen if we annihilate one of the supposed "good guys"...?[/i][/size][/color]

[color=#407790][size=x-small][b]{Helena uses Snakebite on Harmon (C8)! 7 ATK Damage! Chance of Poison!}
